Frankfurt city sight seeing

You should try moving this to the "to the West" part of the message board. There's a Frankfurt local and lots of regular German travelers who could help you out, but I don't know if they'll find the post over here.

Frankfurt(Main) Hauptbahnhof is in the metro district Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV, www.rmv.de). They show a station plan for the Hauptbahnhof, but they don't indicate any lockers.

However, a few years ago, DB published a whole bunch of station plans, which I have in my own personal database and on my website. Their plan for Frankfurt Hbf shows an "island" of rooms off the end of tracks 14-18, across the hall from the DB Reisezentrum, with a florist shop, a tabacco shop, and some newspaper stands. On the street side of this island, away from the tracks, there are two rooms, one with lockers (Schließfächer) and one with a check room (Gepäckaufbewahrung). It also shows a few lockers off the end of track 1.

Jooooooooo, where are you? She could probably also offer some great advice since she lives there...

.....in bed. It's 2am in the morning in Frankfurt.

Y'all are cute as buttons. :-))

Ok, I am awake now and coffee is now in my system.

What kind of tour are you taking? The city has 3 different kinds. They have the private tours in English that you have to reserve ahead of time and that cost about 120 euro for 2.5 hours. There is also the bus tour that goes about 2 hours or so and costs something like 28 euro. Then they just started the hop-on-hop-off bus tours. They last for about an hour and cost 15 euro, though you can of course use them the whole day. Well, from 10 til 5pm. I have ridden this and it was ok, but with a city as walkable as Frankfurt, I don't think you get a very good experience riding in a bus, it is so impersonal and you can't ask any questions. Riding a bus you don't get to go into any of the beautiful old churches like St.Leonhards or Alte Nikolai or even the Kaiserdom, they don't take you down to the Holocaust Memorial Wall, nor do they tell you much about WW2, you don't get to see the Staufen Wall which is the original city wall from 1180 and was once part of the Jewish Ghetto built in 1462, you don't get to walk down in the archeological garden, or go through the Klein Markt Halle. I know the Hop-on bus didn't even go down to the Eschenheimer Turm which is this wonderful, original guard tower built in 1425. Some people like bus tours, and they can come in handy especially if they are unable to walk very well, or if it is pouring down rain.

Hope this helps!

At the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) you will see the signs for lockers.
